A lot of this sounds like The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy
particularly the cover description and there is also a hole in the hedge and meeting the boy next door. However, it is a single father, not mother, and there are four sisters, not three. Still, the oldest sister is very much a mother figure and the tone of the book is memorable and could make you think it might be based in England and it was first published in 2005.There is also a cover where the blue is darker:



I think it could have been based in England where a single mother relocates her three kids to a farm and at first the kids hate it. But then they meet a boy from next door and there’s a hole in the hedge which is how they sneak out to go on adventures. A horse and cart also feature.
The cover is a dark blue and yellow from memory and has the silhouettes of the kids on the left in the blue, and potentially also had the horse too. I think the title was kind of long which is why I can’t remember it
I stupidly gave this book away many years ago and would love to find it again - any clues will be a great help!
